What did you do with your Grenadier today?

It was front end day today. I installed the agile Baja lights kit, the owl hidden light bar, and the owl bull bar. I still need to clean up the wiring under the hood, and run the wire up into the passenger compartment, for the light mode switch.

Today was more fun than yesterday
No sound as my wife mentions that I am "fairly" childish........or words to that effect.

I note Toogoom got an extensive mention in the press due to the heavy rainfall over 24 hrs and a "swift water" rescue at a local camping spot which had a flash flood "event". Hope your shed is high and dry😉
 
Just installed two rotopax canisters on my Bison Gear Molle panel. Now I have 2 extra gallons of gas, so I can feel more alive by testing the limits of 'empty' ..... thinking about Kramer in the Seinfeld episode, and driving my wife insane......

Looks great, but I think the light grills maybe on the wrong sides. If they're the ebay ones I've been looking at, then the straight edge is on the outside and rounded on the inside.
 
Picked up a big Mango.

Actually, we just stopped at The Big Mango for a mandatory Mango Sorbet (and coffee) while passing thru Bowen in North Queensland, Australia.

Look at that blue summer sky. Suck it Winter :cool:
I went to the range for the last shoot of the year last Sunday and one of the guys had several buckets full from his farm.
They are about the size of a baseball.
I took a dozen and this is what is left.

House and shed 1.5 metres above the high water mark.
Not a leak anywhere in the shed I am pleased to say.
House leaks a bit.

I washed the roof, which under the rack is a bit awkward. But these tasks are necessary, even if it's yearly.

Nothing today for my Grenadier, but I wish all of you a Happy New Year 🥂 🍾

Today is also the start of the Dakar rally, formerly known as Paris-Dakar.
The only Belgian winner was Jacky Ickx in 1983, also a good Formula 1 driver.
With an iconic picture (at least for the Belgians and ... Grenadier owners):

On the way home after fetching honey from my Bee man I spotted this Merc beast and couldn't help but do a U turn and grab the pics. What is interesting is the awesome size that it appears to be, height and width but then after studying the pics and looking at the wheels base and running a measure, not much in it, just height width and overhang, enormous. For those interested in winches it is a Superwinch from Connecticut USA and looked to me it had been repurposed[old]. the wheels and tyres were around the same height as the track along the side of the Gren. I would have loved to be behind the wheel in the cab but unfortunately the owner was about.

UNIDAN is a company in QLD that specialises in UNIMOG upgrades and sales. It looks like one of their vehicles.
